What makes a city a good place in which to live and what can be done to tackle the challenges currently facing Canterbury and other cities?
About this Event

Canterbury Society’s annual Civic Lecture will focus on the quality of life in Canterburyand other cities. What makes a city a good place in which to live? What are the challenges currently facing Canterbury and other cities? What can planners, councillors, community groups and local people do to enhance the quality of life locally?

You are invited to come along to hear talks and join in a discussion about the answers to these questions. Abooklet on the history of the Canterbury Society will be launched (with free copies made available for those present).

• Presentation 'All together now? Canterbury Society, a Town Council and the new Unitary Council’: Speaker: Dave Wilson
